Hello, I am hoping there is some quick and dirty solution for the following problem. On waveform graph is there an existing VI, method, etc that idenitifes if my mouse cursor is over a plot. I know I can get the coordinats in pixels. I want if my mouse is over a plot and the ablity it identify the plot. My use case is; pop up a tip strip that has the plot name when the user moves the mouse over the plot. Thanks Dan Found the answer!!! There is a method of Waveform Graph called "Get Plot at Position" Seems to work very well

Webex looks really cool. It also looks afordable for a single user. $40/month seems to be what all the other services charge Hmmmm. Lots to think about Thanks for all your great input. Dan

I missed Michael's presentation due to the fact I couldn't squeeze into the closet they put him in. So is there a MC listbox that takes multiple data types? I would love to get my hands on that! Dan

Glad to have helped. I think it would be cool if Jeff K broke though a wall next year at NI week holding the new version of LabVIEW and yelled Oh YEAAAHHH! I think that would get a standing ovation.

My intended use is desktop sharing i.e. my customers can look at my desktop when talking about requirements. Another use could be colaberation. I have noticed people are working remotly more and more. What tools do they use to comunicate effectly beyond cell phones etc. Dan

Hello, I am looking to purchase some web conferencing software/service. I was wondering what web conferincing software people use and what they like and don't like about it. Thanks Dan

Jeff K said at the keynote he helped make the kool-aid. Does that make him Kool-Aid man?

I can't get to the bug fixes page? http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch...625745D0048CDAF I am assuming this will get unlocked next week. Dan

I think it is a good idea. Would you fly the MSU flag when we beat you! Go state!!

You might want to take a look at the Report Generation toolkit. This gives you programatic access to excel. It will allow you to name sheets, add graphs, etc. http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/5769

I don't totally understand your question but here goes You could try simply transposing the array. I f your data was say A B C D E F Transposing would yield A D B E C F Does that help?

Here is one way to do it. Basicly you use Array to spreadsheet string.vi and save it as a text file. This is a tab delimited file that can be read by excel. You can also you the NI's Report generation toolkit for more control over excel. Hope this helps Dan

You can right click on the cluster and select "Reorder Controls in Cluster". Dan

So to translate to what I think you are doing. The varient could be thought of as my big cluster. Each attribute of that variant could be thought of as an element in my big cluster? Is that close or am I way off. Dan

Wow thanks for the explanaiton. This opens more questions for me. In my projects currently I store all my data in a type def cluster within a FGV (i.e. file paths, channel names, etc). I store this data in an .ini file using Open G's tools. What I like about this I can eaisly find my data in the cluster using the unbundle by Name function. It is also very east to add data values later. Is there a better way to do this? What I am looking for is a good method for a data repository. I want to save the values to file, load them into memory, and access them easily. I am happy with my current method but as always there is probably a better way to do this. Dictionaries look interesting. What would be the advantage/disadvantage of using a dictionary over this method? Thanks Dan

Hello, I am a big fan of open G but something has been has peeked my curiostity. What does Open G Dictionary pallette do? I have been trying to find some documentation on this, but have failed. Can anyone point me to some documentation on what these curious set of tools do? Does anybody else use Open G Dictionary? Do you like it? Is it a form of GOOP? If so how does it compare? Thanks Dan

Hello, I am using NI's Modbus Library and am having a problem. I am trying to read data at Modbus address 404198. However the address input is 16 bit and can only accept a maximum number of 65535. Any sugestion?

The course Books from NI are very good. I would recomend Intermediate 1 and 2 http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/10292 Dan

I have a 14" laptop. I love it for being light and small. When I am at the office I hook my laptop up to a 17" monitor. I don't have any problems. I moved to the smaller laptop for the same reasons. For me lightweight and small real estate trump viewable screen. Dan

Hello, The easiest way I have found is to right click on the element in the culster and select "Create Property Node". You then get a propery node for the individual control in the cluster. I have also shown another way of getting the reference to an individual control in a cluster Hope this helps Dan

Hello, I have what I hope is an easy question. I noticed the NI USB Thermocouple modules have a CJC accuracy of 1 degree. Can this be improved using an external CJC souce i.e. ice bath? http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371566e.pdf Also 1 degree F of error seems high. Is this normal? What techniques can improve this accuracy? Can the accuracy be improved? Thanks Dan

I think you will find if you are doing any kind of data acquisition LabVIEW will be an indispenable tool. I would highly recomend learning more about it. I think LabVIEW is the coolest thing. :worship: Dan
